Are pap tests painful and embarrassing / awkward?!


Question: Are pap tests painful and embarrassing / awkward?
Answers:

They're only embarrassing or awkward if you're uncomfortable with disrobing in front of your doctor. Just remember that you have nothing to be ashamed of and that the doctor has seen it all in his career. As for whether or not it's painful, no. It can be a little uncomfortable because they do insert an object that looks a bit like a long Q-Tip inside of you to scratch against your cervix but it only lasts a few seconds.

I've had a few of these tests.



not painful, but the doc will insert something up your vagina.
